Biography
Kevin Brady worked for the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) governmental agency of the United States, and he was partnered with Steve Murphy in Miami, Florida to take down local drug rings. In 1979, they arrested two hippie marijuana smugglers, and they decided to celebrate their likely promotion at a bowling alley with some friends; it was here that Murphy met his future wife, Connie.

During the early 1980s, Brady and Murphy were constantly on the move in the city as the Miami drug wars broke out; they had to deal with Colombian drug traffickers armed with submachine guns. They no longer faced hippies in flip-flops, but they now faced an armed enemy. In 1981, Brady and Murphy headed to a drug bust in which they were to buy drugs from German Zapata. However, the deal was sprayed by Uzi fire by Medellin Cartel hitman Juan Diego Diaz, who rode on the back of a motorcycle. Brady and Zapata were both killed, with Brady being hit in the head and chest.
